Antrim lodge official objection against switch away from Corrigan Park 

Ulster moved the provincial opener away from the Belfast venue as they don’t deem it an appropriate venue but Antrim GAA have insisted the grounds meet statutory health and safety standards.

Antrim have officially contested the Ulster Council’s decision to stage their provincial SFC quarter-final against Armagh in Páirc Esler next month.

Andy McEntee’s side were due home advantage in Corrigan Park having been drawn out of the hat first last October. However, Ulster GAA’s competition control committee last Thursday confirmed the April 12 evening game for Newry.
